The degree of tooth loss and abrasion was the objective of the study on a group of 73 partially dentate elderly home residents, with particular interest in the type of missing and abraded tooth and the type of the interocclusal contacts according to the Eichner classification. The patients were examined by a dental mirror and a probe. The obtained data of dental status as well as medical and dental history were recorded in a specially designed questionnaire according to the WHO recommendations. The results confirmed the hypothesis about the molars being the most commonly missing teeth, with average values of 4.49 present teeth in lateral section and 5.82 present teeth in frontal section of the dental arch. The Eichner index class III was the most often interocclusal relationship found within 74% of the elderly home residents. Lower teeth were abraded more often than the upper teeth, showing higher abrasion degrees (class 2 and 3).
对一组73名部分牙齿缺失的老年居家居民进行研究，目的是了解牙齿缺失和磨损程度，特别关注缺失和磨损牙齿的类型以及根据艾希纳分类法的牙合接触类型。通过牙镜和探针对患者进行检查。根据世界卫生组织的建议，将获得的牙齿状况数据以及医疗和牙科病史记录在一份专门设计的问卷中。结果证实了关于磨牙是最常缺失牙齿的假设，牙弓侧方截面平均有4.49颗现存牙齿，牙弓前方截面平均有5.82颗现存牙齿。在74%的老年居家居民中，最常发现的牙合关系是艾希纳指数III类。下牙比上牙更容易磨损，磨损程度更高（2级和3级）。
